The Brain Charity

Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for race discrimination, harassment, failure to make reasonable adjustments, disability discrimination and victimisation following her dismissal from The Brain Charity. The tribunal found that the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments by requiring responses to disciplinary meeting questions with less than 24 hours' notice, but dismissed all other claims.

The tribunal found one breach of reasonable adjustments duties concerning notice for disciplinary meeting responses, but dismissed all other claims. The claimant's suspension and dismissal were motivated by legitimate workplace concerns arising from reported inappropriate behaviours during her phased return, not by her disabilities or protected characteristics. The respondent only acquired knowledge of ADHD on 14 December 2023 (insufficient knowledge of its implications) and had treated the claimant's anxiety condition fairly given the other legitimate reasons for action.
